I am glad yo...That is very true about the fan base. I am glad you will keep reading, that makes me feel better people can get past my mistakes. The problem lies in that I do most of my blogging while I am actually at work, which means I get interrupted and my train of thought comes and goes. So there is my excuse for my inaccuracies, most of the time I write something and mean to fact check it later and just never do. <BR/><BR/>Anything that I am not sure about I try to look up but then I forget sometimes. I am glad there are those that point out my inaccuracies to me. I really thought Pesky's Pole was like 280 feet from home plate but I think that is Yankee Stadium (the old one). <BR/><BR/>I guess I can stop talking about Tex now that he signed with the Yankees. By the way, I did some math at work and when Sabathia is pitching the Yankees infield, pitcher and catcher are making more than all but like 3 teams in the major leagues entire payroll. The Yankees have gone back to buying players, no matter what anyone says.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-3692416245256380982008-12-23T21:02:00.000-05:002008-12-23T21:02:00.000-05:00P.S.you should include:Fanbase that has been follo...P.S.<BR/><BR/>you should include:Fanbase that has been following the team for more than 5 years.Fred Triggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980604002168881166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-32083900479998944862008-12-23T21:00:00.000-05:002008-12-23T21:00:00.000-05:00Fair enough.

Yes, afterwards, I did look up the dimesions), but to take advantedge of that, you need to have pinpoint accuracy. Its cool, man. I'll keep reading. I just saw it and was like.....nooooo, that is not right. No harm done. BTW, I thought the BA-DA-(self inflicted gunshot wound to the head) was pretty fucking funny.Fred Triggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980604002168881166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-67768829344936993902008-12-23T20:50:00.000-05:002008-12-23T20:50:00.000-05:00Yeah, I am an idiot, I did actually confuse it wit...Yeah, I am an idiot, I did actually confuse it with Yankee Stadium.

I mean, I know what your saying, but, unless you have pinpoint accuracy, and can curve the ball around pesky's pole at will, fenway park has one of the deeper right fields (380, I think, I didnt look it up). Unless you hit David Ortiz moonshots, fenway can be brutal on lefthanded power hitters such as, JD Drew, or Coco Crisp (I know hes a switch hitter, but the majority of his AB's are from the left side). Or did you mean short, as in height wise, because, yeah, that fence is a little taller than Dustin Pedroia. ZING!
